Islands 2050: The Future of the Trust 
Visual Policy Analysis & Public Engagement Phase II 
January 2021 
Thank you for taking the time to complete the Policy Directions survey. 
 
The findings of the Islands 2050 engagement process will help the Islands Trust update the Policy 
Statement, the foundational document that guides the preserve and protect mandate of this special-
purpose government. The document guides policy decisions about island landscapes and the waters 
surrounding them. It includes recommendations to other levels of government. Notably, it informs how 
local official community plans (OCPs) and land use bylaws are created – changes to this document could 
affect local OCPs.
